NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 17, 2018--The Learning Corp (TLC)
today announced it will support the American Stroke Association (ASA)
in raising awareness that stroke is beatable through increased access to
rehabilitative care and tools. ASA is the nation’s leader in educating
the public on stroke prevention, treatment and recovery.(REALLY? I never use them for any stroke information at all.) TLC’s Constant Therapy
mobile app is a digital exercise program for use by clinicians and
patients to practice speech, language and cognitive exercises after a
brain injury or stroke. The project, the first of its kind between the
two organizations, is designed to help the estimated 800,000 people in
the United States who suffer a stroke each year to better understand the
tools that can help them manage their long-term recovery.

Through May 31, 2020, TLC will donate $2.50 per monthly subscription sold and $25.00 per yearly subscription sold to the ASA’s Together to End Stroke® initiative, with a minimum donation of $50,000.
“Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in America, but with proper education and treatment, including appropriate rehab, stroke patients can maximize their recovery,”(Bullshit, bullshit. We want 100% recovery NOT maximization, that is your fucking tyranny of low expectations!) said Mitch Elkind, M.D., volunteer chairman, American Stroke Association. “We are excited that TLC is an avid supporter of our Together to End Stroke initiative. TLC’s support will help patients manage their recovery and improve their quality of life.”
TLC’s Constant Therapy mobile app is a research-based digital exercise program for use by clinicians and patients to practice speech, language and cognitive exercises after a brain injury or stroke. Patients perform an unlimited number of personalized, evidence-based exercises at home or in the clinic to help them strengthen speaking, reading, writing, math, memory and attention skills. More than 75 million tasks have been completed by Constant Therapy users, and their experience allows the program’s machine learning engine to build new insights and paths to recovery, and new standards for effective stroke treatment.(With NO efficacy percentage it isn't effective!)
“Early and frequent therapy is a vital component to regaining function after a stroke, and research shows that Constant Therapy users practice on average four times more exercises compared to people who receive speech therapy exclusively in a clinic,” said Veera Anantha, Ph.D., TLC’s co-founder and president. “Our collaboration with the esteemed ASA allows us to reach more patients, and work together to end stroke.”
